I recently installed ICSSGS on my captivate. Everything seems to be mostly working, but I don't have any music controls from the lockscreen. From what I have read thus far, others do have such controls....does anyone know if I need to enable them somewhere? I couldn't find any setting such as the ones I used to enable lockscreen music contols in gingerbread.
thanks.
Did you try doubletwist?

no, i was hoping to stick with the stock music player....
can someone at least confirm/deny if ICSSGS has lockscreen music controls for the native music app?

I can confirm the lock screen music controls work great with the Google music app.

Are you using AOSP Music or Google Music?
From what I understand only Google Music and a few other apps that have them enabled (PowerAmp, CyanogenMusic) will work, AOSP Music doesn't have them enabled so it wont and I believe that's the default player for ICSSGS
yes, i'm using the AOSP player. thanks for the input. i'll try google music player. though if it's anything like chrome (dead slow) it won't last long.

i've tried searching but i haven't found anything satisfying...
does anyone know of a decent media player (i don't like htc's music player) that also has lockscreen controls?
i'm running dc 3.2.3, launcherpro.
any help would be great =)
might try cubed
it shows up as a small 3 in the market.
Try WidgetLocker, it let's you place any widget on the lockscreen.

I was looking for a music app that would let the power button or one of the 4 soft buttons play and pause the music.

bTunes works really well.
thanks for all the suggestions! i'm testing out widget locker right now, but btunes does look like a good player. i'm currently using zimly, how does it compare to that?
MixZing

I use Mixzing exclusively. Every once in awhile the album art does not show. But its a great music app.
Thirded on MixZing. Overall a very good player, however you have to upgrade to use the lockscreen widget.

Forgot about having to pay for the upgrade, but well worth it. I like how it auotomatically figures music choices to like and dislike behind the scenes so that shuffle play is more likely to bring favorite tunes.

widgetlocker is awesome.
+1 for MixZing
Widgetlocker is sweet, mostly... I only had it happen on 1 out of about 10 calls today(I downloaded it last night) where it would not allow me to answer the call no matter what.
I've wanted a music player with lockscreen controls for a while. Widgetlocker makes it so every music player can have lockscreen controls.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to an alternative to this music player. Its not that I don't like it (I purchased the full app I'd hope I liked it ) but lately I've been wanting to start using WidgetLocker and sadly PlayerPro's lockscreen player doesn't play nicely with WidgetLocker. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a music app that has lockscreen controls (preferably you can swipe the screen to skip a track) and plays nice with WidgetLocker.

I haven't had any issues with the same setup, widgetlocker and playerpro work fine for me. What problem do you have?

PlayerPro's lockscreen doesn't initialize when I'm using widget locker
This is just an FYI. I've been using the on-screen music controls with CM7 and Music Beta. Everything worked except for the play button, which seemed to activate the stock music player. I searched through the forums and the rest of the interwebs and didn't find any info. Finally, I uninstalled the stock music app and the controls work now. I hope this helps somebody!
Hello xda..
I have been on xda but on SE section..
I think there is no good music widget, on the device,
Any good music apps for this device?
PowerAmp, hands down!

I'm guessing you already have noticed the Google Music Widget (not that I would classify it as good)

Only problem with Poweramp is that it isn't free, $5, and while it is probably the best available for Honeycomb I still don't like it. For an expensive app its still missing a lot imo. I love Pure Music Widget on my phone but it doesn't work on Honeycomb. it's the best music widget out there, works with stock music player just provides hundreds of skins and has all the stock sizes with imbedded album art. Been a while since I checked to see if the dev had upgraded it for HC as he had with his calendar widget.
I dont understand why samsung removed the stock honeycomb music player?
the samsung music player doesent have a widget.. + it kills the album art too )
Does anyone have the stock honeycomb music app?
thanks and cheers!
kzoodroid iam gona try pure music widget for the time.. thanks!
Going to look around for the HC Stock music apk
the floating music player is quite good. simple to use, easy to access, no need to exit an app to use.

I don't think there is a stock honeycomb music player. I believe Google Play Music (Google Music) is the closest thing and its in the market. It only has the one 4x1 widget just like Samsungs stock music player and Pure Music Widget doesn't work with it only the stock player.
PlayerPro!
n7player
I use n7player, and it's fantastic. Best looking music player I have seen, and comes with a few widgets to apply to a homescreen.
There's a review here: http://www.reghardware.com/2012/03/20/app_of_the_week_android_n7player/
Looking for an alternative to ³ music player that has the ability to change the song while the phone is locked. ³ has been freezing up on me lately. Any good alternatives?
Player pro, it costs but it has a volume button to change or even shake lol

Everyone stop! Try Jet Audio..
I have tried every music app there is out there whether it be PowerAmp, PlayerPro, Winamp, N7 and other minor players.. but I find Jet Audio mind blowing, fast, feature packed and bug free! Also its got lockscreen controls as you wish.

I've been using Player Pro as well which does offer lockscreen controls. But what I can't seem to find is a music player that offers seeking from the lock screen controls. Anyone come across any apps like that?
